EP74: Universalism (w/ Jared)

On this episode I am joined by a special guest and pastor, Jared, for a conversation about a theological stance that has grown to be increasingly more common in our modern age. This is none other than the philosophy of Universalism, also known as universal reconciliation. This is a stance that, while aligning more closely with current western cultural views, runs counter to the truth revealed in scripture. I hope you'll join us as we break down more about what this ideology is and what God's word truly has to say on the matter. A special thanks to Jared for taking the time to join me for this incredible discussion!

EP73: Science vs. Faith? - Evolution

Welcome back for another exciting episode! For this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Kari, a strong Christian with an academic background in biology, to discuss how biological theories such as Darwin's theory of evolution conflict with scriptural teachings, as well as why belief in an intelligent creator is strongly supported by logic and scientific evidence. As we continue to learn more by studying creation, it has become abundantly clear that the world around us was created intelligently and with purpose, which is precisely what our conversation focuses on. A special thanks to Kari for taking the time to have this conversation about a topic that I have found to be an extremely important element of modern Christian apologetics!

EP72: The Sanctity of Life

Welcome back! I am extremely excited to have had the opportunity to sit down recently with Ms. Nicole of the New Day Women's Center in Tuscaloosa to discuss the topic of the Sanctity of Human Life. This is a discussion that I believe is extremely relevant to Christians today about a topic that sometimes goes unaddressed in modern churches, and I can think of no better person to share about this topic than an individual who is working day in and day out with an organization that is helping local families in a Christ-centered way. This conversation was one filled with scripture supported perspectives and inspiring stories. I am certain that regardless of who you are, this discussion will be a blessing. A special thank you once again to the amazing individuals serving at the New Day Women's Center for making this episode a reality and for the amazing work they are doing in their community!

EP71: A Word of Encouragement - Live Boldly for Christ

Welcome back! As we look forward to some very exciting interviews coming in the next several weeks, I wanted to share a quick word of encouragement about the importance of living unashamed of the Lord. It is my hope that this inspires gospel conversations with those around us, and I hope you will join us for the one-of-a-kind interviews to come!

EP70: Technology in the Church

Welcome back! I hope that everyone has had a Merry Christmas spent celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On today's episode, we will be breaking down the impact of technology in the church, considering things like bible apps and virtual church attendance. We will be addressing not only the benefits of these technologies for believers today but also their potential downsides, and as always, there will be plenty of scripture to guide our discussion!
